2017 Map of Pamplico South

About this map

Great Pee Dee River and Lynches River frame the low-lying drainage basins of Florence County, where a network of cypress swamps and bays defines the local geography. The landscape is marked by historic rural gathering points such as Pamplico, Hyman, and Hannah, connected by a web of crossroads like Butler Crossroads and Bazen Crossroads. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented across the coastal plain, including Stone Chapel Cem, Aimwell Cem, and Prosser Cem. The area is characterized by distinctive elliptical depressions known locally as bays, such as Sugarfoot Bay and Cockfield Bay, which punctuate the timber and agricultural lands. Near the riverbanks, features like DeWitt Bluff provide rare elevation above the winding Pitch Pot Swamp and Big Swamp Br.
